I only played 13 minutes of the demo because it became apparent there were going to be more HOS than puzzles and theyre not my cup of tea. I thought the game options were excellent, such as being able to adjust the gamma, cursor, mute music, subtitles instead of voice. Some of the hidden items were miniscule and I was playing via my 40" TV, so on a standard monitor it would probably be irritatingly challenging to find them. My scores are based on my preference for puzzle games but recommend it for players who like HOS.
I recommend this game!

Played demo in advanced mode skipping dialogue and cut scenes with music/environment sounds muted.
Very good graphics, lots of interactive HOS and a few easy puzzles.
Excellent game if you like HOS.
My ratings are based on my preference for puzzle adventure games with more challenge.

I only played 26 minutes of the demo on advanced mode with music off and skipped dialogue.
The usual find items to use elsewhere with HOS and the occasional puzzle. You also hunt for achievement items.
I thought the graphics were very out dated. Far too many cut scenes (which I skipped) and the puzzles were so easy, im sure a child could do them.
Not for me, zero challenge.
I don't recommend this game.

Bought the game as I thought it had the potential to be good after playing demo. Played in advanced mode with music and atmospheric sounds on mute.
The usual hunt for items to use elsewhere to reveal another hidden item to use (youve guessed it) elsewhere along your journey. The hidden object scenes seem bearable until you realise every one is a double HOS. For every item you cant find within the HOS, you can opt to play a zero challenge word game. I cant remember if ive played a puzzle yet but then I think my mind has gone numb with the banality and total lack of challenge in this game. Ive lost the will to complete it. One positive is the map gives you the option to change location.
This game will be someones cup of tea, shame it took another dip in my pocket to discover it wasnt mine.
I don't recommend this game.

I thought i'd bought and played this game years ago on my previous PC but it turns out that i'd only played the demo.
I played the whole game in advanced mode. This is an adventure game with no HOS but you do have to find missing items to use on the numerous and sometimes challenging puzzles along the way.
A big fandabbydosey thumbs up from me.
I recommend this game!

It would be pointless going over the same points other more seasoned players have mentioned. Sufficed to say I loved it and will purchase the game, although I was very disappointed by the demo ending well before the hour and im not a fast player.
I recommend this game!

I played the demo in expert mode with music muted and I skipped the dialogue/story so cannot comment on either. The graphics were nice and clear. An interactive map to change location. A diary to tell you what your tasks were. A good balance of HOS and medium challenge puzzles with item searching along the way. You also were given the option to play mahjong instead of doing the HOS which was good. All in all a likely purchase for me.
I recommend this game!

I played the demo and full game in the advanced mode. Loved it, nice little game, NO HOS which was heavenly :). There are 11 chapters and in each you search for items to use within that chapter or the beginning of the next. Throughout the game you have to find some well hidden critters, the good thing is it tells you when you have found them all in a particular location. The puzzles were not particularly challenging but were enjoyable. The game flowed nicely. I cant tell you about the music or storyline because I use the mute and skip buttons.
I recommend this game!

One of my all time favourite games is Azada and I also have 2 & 3. I was on the edge of my swivel chair when I saw this and couldnt wait to get stuck in.
Im not the sort of player who is interested in dialogue or story line unless they contain clues needed to progress in the game and always mute music. I played in Advanced mode.
Far too many HOS, far too much faffing about to find things to play the non challenging puzzles. The only advantage to having the map, was you could faff about quicker.
I like games to have some logic too. Catching a falling metal object with a cobweb isnt logical. Im guessing the challenge element of this game will be from finding where to use your itinery items in an illogical manner.
A lot of players will assume, as I did, that because its got Azada in the title it will be a quality game. Its substandard and should not have been released if it wasnt going to be of a similar level to the previous games.
In one word BORING
I don't recommend this game.

The demo tempted me enough to buy the game but I unfortunately found it to be boring. Sorry peeps but this just wasnt my cup of tea. I dont mind the occasional hidden object scene but there were too many and not enough puzzles. The few that were there werent challenging. I got to the pyramid stage of the game and decided id had enough and uninstalled it.
I don't recommend this game.
